Original Request
For Tuesday Feb 16th Joint ARRA/City Council/CIC meeting, re: Item 3 -a
I urge City Council to accept the Interim City Manager's recommendations and Deny both of SunCal's requests for
an extension to the ENA and a retraction of the notice of default letter. SunCal has had their chance for over 2
years now. 85% of voters rejected their plan voters don't want 4,800 homes at alameda point, they don't trust
suncal because of the bankruptcies, and they don't like suncal's ballot -box planning. Send SunCal back to Irvine.
Alternate ideas from the community have been presented and well received by the community they need to be
explored further and costed -out, a business plan developed and given wider consideration among the public. One
such high -level concept exists at www.SaveOurCityA[ameda.org

"Robbie Di leo Damsel D 2010" <damsel_d@ pacbell. net> 2/16/2010 9:19 AM
Dear Mayor and City Council members.
I am all for fair play and giving people "second chances" in my philosophical approach to fife and
decisions. however, when somebody lies or cheats, that's it. No more second chances. People and companies
are what they are, and it's irrational to think that an apology can really "make it all better Like an abusive
family member, promises to end it, usually don't work out. Alameda cannot afford to take the risk that maybe,
just maybe, this time it'll be different. we aren't their therapist. Track records don't lie.
SunCal over- stepped their reach with the Initiative AND how they got the signatures in the first place. As I
wrote in my Op Ed piece just before the election, in short, SunCal did NOT listen to anybody concerned about
lower density housing, traffic concerns, greater reuse of existing buildings or job creation over homes. SunCal
showed their true colors by ignoring pleas for a secondary "Plan B" (give us choices!). At every public meeting,
it was a bigger plan each time. I believe Alarnedans put in their best efforts on that original plan, years ago. In
today's changing economy, there could be changes needed and I do understand density bonuses and think
that's fine. A Measure A exemption, project by project could work, other than a global "exempt the point
Alamedans with different ideas about Alameda Point, rallied to defeat Measure B. There was a reason the NO
vote was so high. Nobody trusts them. Period. The mandate was clear and the City Manager responded to the
voters with her letter of default. It was an amazing, BRILLIANT, letter. I had wondered, what was "next" and it
was a surprise that brought joy to many I've talked with. To hit SunCal with a Measure A hammer was surreal.
Please send SunCal packing as soon as possible. They do not belong in our town. I don't see us ever getting
the plan we'd like with them as developers. Their track record speaks for itself. Please do not rescind the 30
day notice of default. It's time for hard ball. The ONLY way I could except a reversal and continue the process
with SunCal, is if legal action will be worse (more costly) than pretending to play ball through the end of their
negotiation term. But why waste time pretending? we must have an EIR before moving forward with any plan
other than improving and increasing leases at the Point. So long SunCal. Let's get rolling with Plan B for the
Point, while everybody is motivated.

Don't want to have lose control of Alameda Point to Suncal or anotherone else. We need to control how much
we can build. was the closure of the Posey tube not a clue of the traffic we will have with 5000 more homes
with more than 5000+ more cars trying to get out of Alameda during morning commute? It already a slow
backup trying to go to work. You all should try driving out through the Posey Tube at morning rush hour for a
week.
Do you not hear the Alameda voters. Do we have to vote you out. You were ready to sell out MIF golf course.
Who's paying your salary, Alameda resident or greedy big business.
Enough, LISTEN To YOUR ALAM EDA VOTERS.
